Well, at least that was quick. From Henry Rogers at Da Caller, Tom Emmer Wins GOP Nomination For Speaker Of The House On Secret Ballot. "House Majority Whip Tom Emmer won the nomination for Speaker of the House on Tuesday after five rounds of votes. Republicans were voting by secret ballot until they were able to get to a candidate who received a simple majority of the conference votes. After each round of votes, the member who received the lowest numbers was eliminated. Candidates running had the option to drop out before each round of votes if they felt that they did not have enough support. 109 votes were needed to win." Ace, Moderate RINO Tom Emmer is Next to be Voted On For Speaker, "Pass." Hat Hair reads Truth Social, Trump Knifes "RINO Tom Emmer". Erik Wasson@elwasson "TRUMP knifes Emmer Truth Social "I have many wonderful friends wanting to be Speaker of the House, and some are truly great Warriors. RINO Tom Emmer, who I do not know well, is not one of them. He never respected the Power of a Trump Endorsement, or the breadth and scope of MAGA."" Then, after a quick canvas to see if he had the votes to win the whole house, NewsMax reports GOP's Latest Speaker Candidate, Rep. Emmer, Abruptly Bows Out. Sundance at CTH, OK, This Is Funny – Tom Emmer Wins GOP Secret Ballot, Then Promptly Drops Out When President Trump Swings Atomic Truth Hammer then Representative Mike Johnson Wins Tuesday Night Secret Ballot for GOP House Speaker. "If Mike Johnson (R-LA) cannot carry the conference, look for the professionally Republican Kevin McCarthy wing to reassemble and attempt reinstallation." Which, at this point, looks like the least bad situation. Ashley McCully (a fresh face at PJM?) thinks Metallica Wrote the Perfect Theme Song for the GOP “Hardwired” to self-destruct. I know I've used this before, but it reminds me of the joke about how the asshole became the boss. Let's face it, Gaetz eight, you have enough power to shut down the Republican party, but not enough support to control it. Time to give up and go back to trying to work with the rest of the party.
USA Today has an Exclusive poll: Biden and Trump tie at 37% as RFK Jr. costs Trump a narrow lead. "The arithmetic gets complicated and the politics unsettled in a 2020 rematch with at least one significant independent candidate, and perhaps more." As I've said, polls go both ways on this, so we should regard this finding as possible but not concrete. Hat Hair's KT describes Tim Scott's Hail Mary Plan to Go All In on Iowa. A nice guy, but not our next President. VP, maybe.
At NYPo, Latest migrant poll should scare the hell out of Democrats. "A new poll says 84% of New Yorkers think the state’s migrant mess is a serious problem. The remaining 16% are zombied-out addicts living in parks and subway tunnels. Ha. Just kidding about the zombie part." At Breitbart, Biden’s 2023 Flood: One Migrant for Every American Newborn. Althouse finds "We New York Jews have always voted for the Democrats.... Why do Jews vote Democratic?..." ""But there is no more cosy mystery in the antisemitism of the Democratic Party; Representatives are affiliated with the Democratic Socialists and pro-Palestinians, calling for the end of the state of Israel — that is, for the death of the Jews. And Democrat Representatives repeat and refuse to retract the libel that Israel bombed a hospital, in spite of absolute proof to the contrary, and will not call out the unutterable atrocities of Hamas. . . . Writes David Mamet, in "How the Democrats betrayed the Jews/The sick thrill of antisemitism has a price" (UnHerd).

Jonathan Turley think Jenna Ellis Admits to Criminal False Statements in Ominous Plea for Trump. John Hinderacker at Power Line, Jenna Ellis Pleads Guilty "“Amplifying baseless claims” is not a known criminal offense, and it is something that a great many lawyers have been known to do. Not to mention the New York Times! Nevertheless, Ellis made a tearful confession in court this morning. . ." Capt. Ed, comments "John raises some good questions here, but those prompt another: if none of this was a crime, why did an attorney plead guilty to the charge? Ellis had had some success raising money for her defense, after all, and she ended up pleading guilty to a felony rather than misdemeanors, as Powell did. Presumably an attorney would grasp these matters, especially an attorney caught in the middle of the case. But just to emphasize, I think John raises solid points about the overall case here. Read it all." Chris Roach at Am Great writes Gag Order Against Trump Is the Real Threat to Democracy. "Deep State is attacking our right to elect the President of our choosing." Michael Walsh at Da Pipeline sees The Lights Go Out in Georgia. Althouse hits a triple with "The Manhattan district attorney is part of the 'progressive prosecutor' movement, which seeks to use prosecutorial discretion to reduce mass incarceration and racial disparities," "Anything that turns up the temperature and becomes controversial is where the online fundraising comes from." ""It’s a lot easier to catch fish in a hot lake than a cold lake. All these stories heat up the lake." Said Brad Parscale, "a former Trump campaign manager who now works in online fundraising," quoted in "Trump seethes at gag order in federal case while his campaign relishes it/The former president took advantage of a temporary pause in the restriction to resume attacking special counsel Jack Smith" (WaPo) and "You have lied under oath numerous times, Mr. Cohen — isn’t that correct?"/"That’s correct," "I'm reading "Cohen Denounces Trump During Courtroom Face-Off/Michael D. Cohen accused his onetime boss, Donald J. Trump, of manipulating his net worth as Mr. Trump stared blankly ahead. It was their first interaction in five years" (NYT)."
